If you have a young adult rom-com or friend-com that will rip my heart to shreds and then put it back together, please give it to me. Thank you!!! 👀👀👀 #mswl

I'm binge-watching #Outerbanks this week, and would LOVE LOVE LOVE a YA mystery / adventure featuring a diverse group of friends and of course, heaps of romance. #mswl

Can't stop watching #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral miniseries and now I really want a YA version: diverse, tight-knit friend group, romance abound, lots of drama with just as much heart #MSWL
